Originally shot in 1972, Aretha Franklin’s concert documentary “Saving Grace” is finally going to get the recognition it deserves, after being seen by few and shelved for decades due to legal reasons. 

The film debuted last fall in New York City during a film festival, and Neon is set to give the film a major release on April 5 in select theaters in Los Angeles and New York City, with more dates to follow, IndieWire reports.
